Summary:
I downvoted pro-AI comments in a post in leftymemes community. It was LLM generated polandball comic (Which is objectively pathetic as fuck) that showed up on my feed, blocked couple of users who I thought were unhinged, and have blocked the whole instance on my client after realizing how rabid these morons are.
I didn’t go looking for AI posts like a vigilante.
One user in question got miffed for being downvoted and banned me from places they moderate.
It’s not just one community. The whole instance is pro-AI, untagged, and with criticism of it being against the rules.
There is no actual rule against criticism of AI. It’s an ethereal rule that they use to exert authoritarian behavior.
And if you criticize the mod actions you’ll be accused of starting drama, as I learned from crossposting this there.
Here’s db0’s lovely, totally mature, and not at all condesending response.
Being anti-AI on .dbzer0 is considered “trolling” and “reactionary” no matter what your stance is, how you present it, or what your reasons for it are.
Yup, and db0 is their “benevolent” dictator. I bet if this community were on dbzer0 he would’ve banned it or banned everyone in it and kept it as a honeypot to ban anyone who pushes back against him and his instance’s Pro-AI agenda.
